Rules before you buy or sell

• The Ministry of Mines withdrew the Quality Control Orders for aluminium, copper, primary lead, refined zinc and refined nickel on 13 November 2025, so the BIS mark is no longer compulsory for aluminium sheet and plate (IS 737, IS 736, IS 1254). The government can re-notify a QCO, so check the e-Gazette before you buy or import.
• Check the current import and export policy for your exact 8-digit HS code in the DGFT ITC(HS) schedules.

Storage and handling

Store flat, dry and interleaved; moisture between sheets causes water stains.
